bionic 50,111 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Maybe I'm wrong but I feel people focus too much on death statistics and not enough on long-term impact statistics? I feel like I don't hear anything about long COVID anymore in media even though first person accounts make it clear its a real and persistent thing.

jobot 136 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I’ve been trying to do some healthy things throughout the pandemic, although it’s been tricky to stay motivated. But I have tried to keep up with vitamin D supplements and some good greens. I think it helped - I live in Europe and tested positive a couple of weeks ago. It was extremely mild for me, thankfully. I hadn’t had the booster, just x2 Moderna back in June/July. It wasn’t even a full on “cold”, just a slight sore throat, some coughing and sniffles. I’m presuming it was OmiCon because it was so mild - stay safe everyone and listen to your body. Lots of fluids helped! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister G 10,512 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 More like more than half of the world. My sister is a nurse and specialized in ICU wards for a good 20 years. She agrees that COVID is going to be one of those diseases that 90% of the population will get not; not if they get it but when they get it much like your friend said @Anderson123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilyLark 10,213 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm honestly so mad at the people who refuse to get vaxxed...this sh*t mutates in part and gets new variants because of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyLark 10,213 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Also I'm f*cking sick of working online. I know some people love it, but I don't. I want to live a normal life again and be able to go into movie theaters without worrying.... Hell, I've even stopped going to the movies even though I 'm boosted and vaxxed as stupid Omnicorn is so contagious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

World governments abandoning responsibility is selfish This is how I feel too. And then we get people talking about how "only the vulnerable" are at risk, when huge amounts of people getting covid and potentially experiencing long-term effects basically creates more vulnerable people, and then the governments and fellow citizens seem fine to write them off... ugh.

At some point we're going to have to just let people decide for themselves and if they choose to not get vaccinated that's on them, they can risk their lives. The rest of us doing our part and what we should shouldn't have to keep putting our lives on hold though due to the selfish assholes out there.

World governments abandoning responsibility is selfish I don't think looking at the long-term effects is a good indicator for current policy. Many diseases have long-term consequences; the healthcare system should be able to deal with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also worth nothing. The impact lockdowns have had on people's mental health, overall wellbeing, and children's development is another reason for why we can't keep pushing lockdowns everytime there's a new variant. There will always be a new one as quite frankly COVID is a lifeform and isn't going to stop mutating. Sadly, this is with us for the long-haul and we're going to have think long and hard as a society about what we're going to do about that reality and if we're really going to risk even worse consequences by lockdowning things every time that happens.
